Cheaped out? Half-assed? I don't call paving an entire stretch of the street with granite, installing public art AND haviing mature trees, irrigation systems AND stone planters cheap OR half-assed.
In the meantime, I don't see any complaints on this thread about how Chicago (or Belgrade) didn't have stone pavers (concrete sidewalk in the Chicago pics ShonTron posted of the Magnificant Mile; concrete pavers in Belgrade, plus the lack of planters around trees) and thus "cheaped out". In fact, everyone lapped it all up as if it's a godsend.
BTW, those "lines" are pieces of granite. You know, it doesn't come in a single slab covering the entire sidewalk. Hell, they even attempted to create patterns by using different sizes and shades and still got talked down as "cheap".
